Contract plans are being finalized for the intersection improvement. Right-of-way

• STREET SIGN REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
The Police Department has completed the inventory of existing signs within the
Business Park. Approximately 2000 signs will be removed and replaced on
decorative sign posts. The project is targeted for a contract letting in Spring
2005.
The Commission discussed the transportation elements of the ICRC program. Projects
completed to date have significantly reduced traffic congestion within the Business
Park. Several key traffic congestion improvements remaining in the program include
the Busse Road/Oakton Street/Higgins Road intersection, and the Elmhurst Road
interchange. The inclusion of additional transportation improvements to ease traffic
congestion for Business Park users not originally identified in the Master Plan was
discussed. The Commission concurred with evaluating the need for arterial street
improvements, which would benefit the Business Park. In addition, transit
improvements should be broadened to provide additional bus shelters. The
identification of sites for additional shelters will be coordinated with PACE. The
intersection of Nicholas Boulevard and Touhy Avenue will be evaluated for a bus
shelter.
